Lovelock Correctional Center (LCC) is a Nevada Department of Corrections prison in unincorporated Pershing County, Nevada, United States, near Lovelock.[1]
Lovelock is in Pershing County and is the seventh major institution of the Nevada Department of Corrections.[1] It was constructed and opened in two phases. The first started in August 1995 with two 168-cell housing units. Each 80-square-foot (7.4 m2) cell can house two inmates. Construction on the second phase saw two 168-cell units and two 84-cell units made available for the institution to hold 1,680 offenders.[1] Its industrial plant, housed in two 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) buildings, makes garments and mattresses.[1]
The facility received wide media coverage in 2008 when former American football star O. J. Simpson was sent there after being sentenced to 33 years' imprisonment, with a minimum of nine years before becoming eligible for parole, which was granted on July 20, 2017.[2][3] He was released on October 1, 2017.[4]
Serial killer Tony Ray Amati and convicted murderers Darren Mack and Craig Titus are both currently housed at this facility.
